Great video! Im not that knowledgeable in some of the bourbon regulations but the practice of blending whiskeys together to get a specific proof is not new. Glenfarclas 105 is a perfect example. Year after year their whiskey is at 60%. I think in this case it would just be the BiB regulation making it that much harder to hit target proof. That being said, i think that's where the price came from
Your knowledge of super intricate rules about things like low proof/cask strength blending and how it can still qualify as a BiB is why so many people like your channel. PS Conrad is cool for sharing like that.
Wild Turkey Rare Breed bourbon is at a standard 116.8 barrel proof despite being a batch, so it stands to reason AE could nail 100 proof. Extra difficulty getting them all from the same season, but if you have enough barrels, it makes sense!
I've always wanted to try Angel's Envy but haven't yet. Usually I don't hear anyone talking about it in bourbon videos. I'd like to try this just because of this video. Thank you for the interest guys!
Great episode, and thanks to Conrad for his generosity! Having picked up a couple of W.B. Saffell 375ml bottles so far this year - because mmmmm 😋 - I’m really curious as to how they’d compare, both for quality and value.
Nice review. I’m not a fan of the regular AE and I like the AE rye for a dessert type pour but the Prideful Goat rum finished rye kicks butt! This version sounds interesting and a possible buy!
I'd definitely love to try that. But for $55 for a 375, that's going to be a hard pass. I would never want to wish anything bad on anyone, but I have to be honest, I hope this product fails. It just seems greedy and slimy.
Before y'all get into it, the only way that I can see to have a BiB whisky that's also barrel proof is to make it actually *batch* proof by blending barrels to get a tank that's 100 proof, within whatever leeway the government might allow. The odds of being able to find enough barrels that are natural right on 100 proof are surely so high as to make it essentially impossible. But now I'll start the video going again and see whether I'm on the right track. 🙂 5:03 It looks like I was thinking straight. 🙂 I don't really care for the 1792 profile, so between that and the price I have plenty of reasons not to look for this one. 😁
Man, Conrad is awesome! This guy absolutely loves to share his whiskey! This is a great episode, thanks for all of the background information! 🥃
I had the pleasure of trying this at a wedding reception on Friday. I thought is was THE BEST 100 proof Bourbon I’ve ever had!

Extremely generous to share samples considering the bottle size and limited allocation. Well done!
Love to win a sample...thanks for the opportunity!
Thank you. Great content. Always learning something.
Thanks for the review. Sounds like this is one worth trying!
Always wondered what their base whiskey tasted like.
Great video, and makes me regret passing on that bottle when I was there in early August.

Can’t wait to try it!
I got one 3 weeks ago when visiting Louisville. I absolutely love it and wish I had gotten two. Mine is almost gone already.
Sounds amazing. I would love the opportunity to try those whiskeys.
Conrad is awesome!
Had a coworker get a bottle. I wasn't impressed. It was rather pedestrian, didn't come across balanced. I did sample it blind.
Did you have the appropriate chaser?😂
Good video
Thanks
I misheard patreon supporter as Patriots fan
Sounds interesting but a bit too rich for my blood 🤔
Oh no not close to 1792 :(
I feel the same way about 13th colony DO. Should be half the price. Not saying i wont buy one if i win there sweepstakes lol. Fomo is still real
